Federal Corporation (Nasdaq: CFBK), the parent company of CFBank, today announced it received regulatory approval from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland (Fed) of the Company&#146;s previously announced agreement with the U.S. Department of the
Treasury. The agreement allows the Company to redeem the Preferred Stock and warrant held by the Treasury and forgive all accrued but unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock issued in connection with the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) Capital
Purchase Program (together, the &#147;TARP Securities&#148;) for a total payment of $3.0 million, resulting in a discount of approximately $5.0 million. Redemption of the TARP Securities will be completed if the Company obtains gross proceeds of
$22.5 million in its current rights offering of common stock. Redemption of the TARP Securities will also require regulatory approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company also announced that the Fed and OCC have not objected to the appointment of Timothy T. O&#146;Dell, founder and principal of Chetwood Group, a strategic business advisory firm, and former

II, principal owner of Addison Holdings, LLC, which manages investments of private individuals and has been active in opening new franchises for two retail chains, Five Guys and Flip Flops; and Donal Malenick, former chief executive officer of
Columbus Steel Castings and president of Worthington Steel; as directors of the Company upon completion of the rights offering. In addition, the Fed and OCC have not objected to the appointment of Mr. Hoeweler as Chairman of the Board, Mr.
O&#146;Dell as Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Perry as President of the Company upon completion of the rights offering. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company seeks to
raise up to $22.5&nbsp;million, consisting of an $18.0&nbsp;million offering to existing stockholders and a $4.5&nbsp;million offering to a group of standby purchasers. The rights offering is currently in process and expires on July 16, 2012. To the
extent any shares remain unsold at the expiration of the rights offering, the Company intends to conduct a public offering which would end as soon as $22.5 million is raised, but no later than August 14, 2012. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A registration statement related to these securities has been filed with the SEC and may be viewed on the SEC website (www.sec.gov). You may obtain a
